A surgical approach to a vascular malformation in the plantar medial foot.

Vascular malformations are infrequent findings in the foot, especially the plantar medial foot. Deeper vascular malformations may be more difficult to diagnose due to the depth and oblique course of the medial neurovascular structures into plantar aspect of the foot. The authors present an interesting case report of a vascular anomaly mimicking a heel spur syndrome and describe a surgical approach for the resection of this type of lesion with a 10-month follow-up.
